Implication

Sex-specific genetic links to BMI, SBP, and WHR are hypothesis-generating; replication and prospective studies needed before any clinical consideration.

Population

Men and women of the Aggarwal population of India

Intervention

Evaluation of TCF7L2, HHEX, KCNJ11, and ADIPOQ genetic variants

Outcome

Body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and systolic blood pressure (SBP)surrogate

TCF7L2 and ADIPOQ genetic variants show sex-specific associations with BMI, waist-hip ratio, and systolic blood pressure in the Indian Aggarwal population.
